Don't let them Take your Smiles Away
You tell me I should wait
And stand in line
You tell me that my heartbeats
Been skipping time
Chorus
Why does it have to be so complicated?
There has to be a better way
Why does it have to be so complicated?
Don't let them take your smiles away
I tore myself to pieces
Deep inside
I heard your songs
And felt the tears you've cried
Why does it have to be so complicated?
There has to be a better way
Why does it have to be so complicated?
Don't let them take your smiles away
You whisper soft and gentle, melodies
10, 000 brilliant colours
Through the trees
Chorus
Why does it have to be so complicated?
There has to be a better way
Why does it have to be so complicated?
Don't let them take your smiles away

Many Shades

Many Shades
Life is but a morning shadow
In the ashes, we call yesterday
We're closing doors and windows
In this slow decay
Underneath the breathing
In between the cobbled stones
Underneath the layers
Underneath the flesh and bones
Blood will bleed in many shades
Inside these crimson hours
Chorus
Paint the days by numbers
Ride the waves to cyberspace
You can race to beat the second hand
But it's the hours you can't replace
In the whispers of tomorrow
Weeping rumours fall behind
Blood will bleed in many shades
Yet, they call us human kind
Underneath the mirrors
In between the broken shards
The rules will never change
So long as they hold all the cards
Blood will bleed in many shades
Inside these crimson hours
Chorus
Paint the days by numbers
Ride the waves to cyberspace
You can race to beat the second hand
But it's the hours you can't replace
Life is but a morning shadow
It's not tomorrow, it's not yesterday
We're closing doors and windows
In this slow decay
Underneath the grieving
In between the semi tones
Underneath the players
Underneath the flesh and bones
Blood will bleed in many shades
Inside these crimson hours
Chorus
Paint the days by numbers
Ride the waves to cyberspace
You can race to beat the second hand
But it's the hours you can't replace

Change our Minds

Change our Minds
I've been looking into the future
What did I see?
What did I see?
I saw many beautiful people
A lot like you and me
Only they kept all the innocence
That we've left behind
And I believe the children
Can change our minds
I've been looking into the future
What did I see?
What did I see?
I saw many children
They were a lot like you and me
Only they kept all the innocence
That we've left behind
And I believe the children
Could change our minds
I believe the children are the future
What do they see?
What do they see?
They see all the beauty surrounding
That we just don't see
They've kept all the innocence
That we've left behind
And I believe the children
Could change our minds

Inside of Me

Inside of Me
My skin might peel
Before it breaks
Cast me out
For heavens sake
Bridge 1
Do I leave myself too open?
A target to attack
I'm getting hard to recognise
I'm grieving in black
Chorus
And while it might be getting
Hard to see
There's this fire
Inside of me
Who knows what I feel?
Made to break
Cast me out
For heavens sake
Bridge 2
Now, I'm only here in body
My spirits wild and free
I'm caught up with this fire
Inside of me
Chorus
And while it might be getting
Hard to see
There's this fire
Inside of me
My heart might bleed
But it won't break
These eyes are wide
I'm wide awake
My best form of defence
Is to prepare my attack
Emptiness I recognise
I'm grieving in black
Chorus
And while it might be getting
Hard to see
There's this fire
Inside of me

No Need to Shiver
When you're not sure
Which way to go
Reach out and take my hand
You don't need to ask
Who's side I'm on
Of course I understand

Lions Heart
To learn to live takes courage
There's no better time to start
The answers to those questions
Wait inside your lions heart
You're all you've ever wanted
You're life is precious and it starts today
Pick up your fractured indecision
Your lions heart will find a way
Chorus 1
Oh, lions heart
Make the most of every day
There's no better time to start
Make the most of every day
You're one in a million.
And there's a million ways to go
Wake up your lions heart
It's stronger than you know
Chorus 2
Oh, lions heart
Make the most of every day
Indecision is your weakness
Make the most of every day
Chorus 1
Oh, lions heart
Make the most of every day
There's no better time to start
Make the most of every day.

Zombies don't Feel Pain

Zombies don't Feel Pain
Plastic girls, dressed in pearls
Walking down the street
Business men in shirts and ties.
And sales you'll never beat
Gucci bags and tramps in rags
Oh the great divide
A gypsy woman begs for change.
She's ignored by passers by
You can hear the checkouts ringing
And predict the steady tide
Their egos raging like wild fires
One hundred miles wide
Zombies move amongst them
Thumbs locked to tiny screens
Designed to cause distraction
And to nullify their dreams
Chorus
I want to walk towards them
And shake them by the ears
To try and make them understand
That they've been lied to all these years
I stop because I realise
They'd only tell me I'm insane
Can you tell me is it true?
That zombies don't feel pain
There's faceless heads in greens and reds
To show this seasons styles
There's a queue outside the apple store
Please wait in single file
And while you're busy with the day
There's trolleys and bags to fill
You'd see beyond the madness
With some time for standing still
Chorus
I want to walk towards them
And shake them by the ears
To try and make them understand
That they've been lied to all these years
I stop because I realise
They'd only tell me I'm insane
Can you tell me is it true?
That zombies don't feel pain
There's diamond encrusted watches
Do they do more than tell the time?
There's food that costs a fortune
If you can afford to dine
On the corner an old busker
Singing songs from times gone by
In the end I've just one question
And it starts and ends with why
Chorus
I want to walk towards them
And shake them by the ears
To try and make them understand
That they've been lied to all these years
I stop because I realise
They'd only tell me I'm insane
Can you tell me is it true?
That zombies don't feel pain

Living in Fear
How can I love in a world?
That I can't understand
How can I help us steer?
Away from this sinking sand
How can I make the most?
Of this moment today
How can I accept myself?
While I'm turning away
Bridge 1
The wind is her voice
The birds have her ears
How can I love in a world?
Where I'm living in fear
Chorus
How can I love in a world?
Where I'm living in fear
Bridge 2
Peace, love, happiness
They must be out there
Somewhere I guess
When you find them
Can someone please let me know
How can I love in a world?
That I can't understand
How can I keep these feelings?
Caged up in these hands
Bridge 1 & Chorus & Bridge 2
How can I love in a world?
It's getting harder each year
How can we love in a world?
And watch love dissapear
Bridge 1 & Chorus & Bridge 2

Teach me How to be a Hero
Teach me how to be a hero
I'm starting from zero
I've got nothing left to loose
What is it that I need to choose?
Chorus
What's right?
What's wrong?
This light
Can't be wrong
Teach me how to be a hero
I'm starting from zero
Guide me till I'm really free
Fists of rage, and eyes that see
Chorus
What's right?
What's wrong?
This light
Can't be wrong
Teach me how to be a hero
I'm starting from zero
Why is it that I feel displaced?
As if I come from outer space
Chorus 2
What's right?
What's wrong?
This fight
Can't be wrong
Chorus
What's right?
What's wrong?
This light
Can't be wrong
Bridge
Teach me how to be a hero.

This Strangers Name
Two Earth's, if only
We're tearing apart
Focus on the head
Or focus on the heart?
Chorus
When you're going backwards
It all looks much the same
Two Earth's, if only
Where should the line start?
Focus on the head
Or focus on the heart?
Chorus
When you're going backwards
It all looks much the same
Would you take the time?
To know this strangers name
Two Earth's, if only
Right back to the start
Focus on the head
Or focus on the heart?
Chorus
When you're going backwards
It all looks much the same
Would you take the time?
To know a strangers name
Would you take the time?
To know this strangers name

Lee Rice Saint Asaph, UK
What a journey these last few years have been, rewarding and challenging.
Music is my life and gradually it has
really taken over and now I live for music everyday. My home in North Wales is a great place for me to spend some time writing but I'm in my element when I'm travelling, busking, meeting people and trying to make the most of life.
I love Nature and feel more connected to it everyday :)
